Monique Waqué’s 200 Year Old Farmhouse In Northern Germany

Photography by Andreas Von Einsiedel Picture Credit
Owner Monique Waqué discovered this 200 year old farmhouse located in northern Germany, and turned it into her dream home. The house is decorated with Gustavian furniture in a Swedish country look. You can get her style too with a few key furniture pieces.
There are a number of Swedish dealers on 1st dibs that sell authentic Swedish Gustavian chairs just like what Monique Waqué has in her home. Buying antiques from Sweden allows you to get genuine pieces that have been loved for years. As you can see Monique Waqué has Gustavian country chairs at her dining table in a pale yellow.
This home certainly has a country flare. All the choices are rustic, painted with country Swedish colors. An oval tray sits on the coffee table. Consider turning to a hand painted tole tray in the color scheme that you are basing everything around. My favorites are the floral tole trays which have an elegant feminine country appeal. Collect a color and consider painting your walls to match the tole trays. The floral hand-painting gives a very distinct country look.
Getting this look doesn’t have to cost you a fortune either. There are a number of chairs that have this same look for less.
